This could be headed for a hung jury

Question for legal experts: If there is a hung jury, what are the odds the state will or will not re-try?

They usually do re-try, especially this rabid of a full-court press from Bambi on down.

But first they would ask the jurors how the vote went, why did they hang etc. Only if it was 5-1 for acquittal would they consider dropping it
